The ethos of the centre is to provide the best quality yoga and meditation teaching and outdoor activities within a responsible holiday retreat package in The Burren where we spend time in Nature and the whole package follows the principles of conservation of the environment.

Macalla Farm (formerly Clare Island Retreat Centre) is a small, family run retreat centre and working organic farm situated on Clare Island off the west coast of Ireland. We are passionate about yoga, mindfulness, food and horses. The wide range of residential courses on offer reflects our diverse interests and areas of expertise: yoga retreats which integrate a deep awareness of both body and mind, mindfulness and cooking retreats which explore our relationship to food as well as one-of-a-kind courses combining yoga and mindfulness with horses.

We could call it a Yoga retreat, although why create expectations and limit it by doing so? Yes, Yoga Beyond Yoga, many have said, offers more or something distinctly different to the traditional or typical Yoga practices being taught. Each morning at a reasonable hour, we will enjoy an extended Yoga practice. The nature of this practice will be according to your needs and readiness to enjoy the openness that is Yoga. Classes at the cottage will be small (up to 3 Yogis at a time) so your individual needs can be addressed.
